Re: WIP - Deep dark wood - (Block out Phase)
It would be great to light the sky to match the mood in the foreground. Right now it's bright and sunny out there, one thing you could try to increase the mood is to add a dark height fog to simulate rain clouds above and a bright horizon below. For… -
Gradient texturing on modular tiles causing visible seams
Hi everyone, I am currently building a modular kit for my game and ran into a problem with gradient texturing that I do not fully understand yet. My kit consists of many reusable pieces like walls, windows and especially floor tiles. The floor is made out of repeating units, for example 1x1m, 2x2m or 4x4m tiles that are… -
Re: Plant Potted Examples for Modern Games
I did a test not long ago with normal mapping leaves. Don't know if Torque's materials support this kind of effect though. Probably overkill anyhow, unless you get self-shadowing and you don't care about fill rate. http://www.ericchadwick.com/img/tree_light-scattering.html Here's another example that isn't using a fancy… -

Re: Low Polygon Joints - What is the best way?

A lot more can be done with helper joints and more advanced weighting then just two bones and on or off weighting. I like Ancient Pigs joint… -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Does it specifically have to be artists? I'm always telling people that the art industry shouldn't be looked at as a vacuum. Any career built around hard work has the same outcome of how successful you can be. For example, consider the man who popularized McDonalds (Ray Kroc) was selling milkshake machines at the age of… -

need vehicle uv map examples
Does anyone know where I can find some examples of good uv mapping for a drivable vehicle like a dune buggy or hummer? I am trying to fit everything on one 1024 texture map but I am having trouble making space for everything on one sheet and maintaining a consistent resolution for all the parts.
